Happy Valley amusement park in Shanghai, China, has opened a new attraction featuring the world’s first multimedia tower to challenge time-space awareness.

Developed by ECA2 of France, Lake of Illusions is a bold architectural landmark that transforms into a multimedia spectacle by night.

Built at the heart of the Happy Valley, this new attraction is a symbol of modernity and an icon of contemporary culture.

“To match the grand scale of its context in Happy Valley, Lake of Illusions was conceived to stand out in every dimension,” commented Jean-Christophe Canizares, chairman and CEO of ECA2.

“It’s a true 360-degree icon that dominates its setting and intrigues the park’s visitors.”

Rising from the tranquil stillness of the central lake, the Lake of Illusions installation towers above the surrounding scenery, leaning skyward at a dramatic angle, and can be admired from every direction.

Artistically controlled by cutting-edge technology, the effects change and merge through time and space in every dimension – reaching higher, wider and deeper through different planes.

To make Lake of Illusions even more special, ECA2 spent one year in R&D to develop a unique new effect called Spiro screen. This innovative system uses rotating water jets to produce a giant spectral surface where video, light and laser images can be viewed as never before.
